Director Luke Sparke’s Australian-produced Sci-Fi action film, Occupation, has today released its official trailer, and Pinnacle Films announced it will release the highly-anticipated film in cinemas nationally from July 12, 2018.

The trailer features ‘Storms’ a track from Powderfinger’s lead guitarist and songwriter, Darren Middleton.

The film’s plot follows a group of civilians after their small Australian country town is annihilated by an overwhelming airborne attack as they evade capture and discover they are now among the last remaining survivors of an extraterrestrial invasion engulfing the entire planet.

As humanity falls under world-wide occupation, they form a home-grown army to fight back against vastly superior enemy forces. On the frontlines of the battle for Earth, they are our last hope.
